At which stage of Erikson's Eight Stages of Development do individuals face the challenge of identity versus role confusion, typically occurring during adolescence?

The stage of identity versus role confusion occurs during adolescence, which is roughly between the ages of 12 and 18. During this time, teenagers start to explore who they are and what their beliefs, values, and goals might be. They may try different roles, such as joining clubs, changing their style, or experimenting with new interests to see what fits them best. For example, a teenager might try out for the school play, join a sports team, or become interested in a new hobby, all in an effort to understand their unique identity. Successfully navigating this stage helps them develop a strong sense of self, while struggling with it can lead to confusion about their place in the world.
